Bandelier National Monument

Bandelier National Monument protects over 33,000 acres of ruggedly beautiful canyon and mesa country. Petroglyphs, dwellings carved into the soft rock cliffs, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to the early days of a culture that still survives in the surrounding communities.

Use a designated campsite that permits your vehicle and equipment. Check the individual campground maximum lengths, access, generator rules and food-storage requirements; a parking area is not permission to sleep overnight.
